No Name Fire, a cool looking patch type that could be an Akro IMHO. Wierd base glass--is it opal? Marble--On!!

Nope Nope Nope

Nice marble Gladys. It looks hand-gathered to me. The two images on the left, the bottom one--- I think may be a pinch pontil. No ID from me. Marble--On!!

Thanks Ron. Thumb pot --On!!

OK, I was close and will step up to the plate. Here is something new to the blurry game—a blurry under UV light. I used one of those cool pocket UV lights that Steph had posted about, glued a plastic marble holder on the top ring and here is the result. Good luck and marble—On!!

Welcome ----"back" browncat73. I hope that you are on the mend and I wish you a swift recovery. I will say Champion but I suck at WVS ID. All opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!
-
Join the club my friend--why do you think that we need more images? Bring them on!! Marble--On!!
-
Sorry Lastfling I spelled out Corn when it should have been Carnelian. I am a Cornelian freak and it shows😁. marble--On!!

Nice batch Jzoook6. I just love the Akro marbles--these look very nice--great image as well!! Marble--On!!
-
These I would call Jabo--- Of course all opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!
-
I cannot make out what it says on the bottom. Maybe @wvrons will give his opinion here. He has a nice collection of both makers. Braun and Corwin or the like is a nice find for sure. Marble--On!!
-
This is a tuff one, it almost looks foriegn but older. If I had to choose between the two choices--Akro. Marble--On!!
-
Silver Oxbloods? nice!! Marble--On!!
-
This one is an Akro Carnelian. The rest may just be "Ringers" or "Imperials" The thumb pot may be Alley—or Akro—nice find regardless. Marble—On!!
-
The first two sets of images I do not recognize at all—WVS?? The third set looks like either Vacor “Werewolves” if brown based—Possible “Thunderbolts’ if black based. The rest I would call jabo. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!

You did well this year for sure hrjane. This is just a great job of hunting these addictive little orbs. They all stick out to me for one reason or another. It is great to see that they are still “Out There”. I----Love—just love the “Bricks”. Keep the images coming!!! Marble---On!!! -
Yes, this is an Akro corkscrew—not a slag, WVS or any other. One image looks like it has a signature---eyelashes that look to say AA to me—😍. This one is 5/8” and would be a hard ID for those new to the hobby/addiction and I do not blame them for selling it so cheap in the lot that it came with---😘. The last set of images is for @Fire1981. Backlight them all and hit them with some UV while you are at it—you just never know until you do. Marble--On!!
-
Well--Maybe not UV--great image though--I concede--Jabo!! Marble--On!!
-
I agree--more of that one for sure!! Marble--On!!
-
Good question Fire and I hope you get a good answer from someone besides me. This is worth a bump--and I agree that they are of the same age as you state--there may be one or three Vitros in the bunch though. Marble--On!!
-
Frosted at best imho. Vacor did this quite well. Don't do it Mojo!! Marble--On!!
-
I just have to say this--The OP looks like it reacting to UV very heavy for a Jabo--Nuf said. Marble--On!!

Here you go Gladys, some washed out Popeye’s. I got these in the same lot on a day that I will never forget. I placed a bid early on 9/11 and forgot about them for a few days. Marbles were not on my mind that day but life went on and there they came. I figure with both the reds and the greens washed out like they were --- that they may have been a later run of Popeye’s—not near as vibrant as the originals. These are just my thoughts. I had some blue and yellow that looked pretty “normal” and a red white and blue that I will always cherish that came in the same lot. Lots of Popeye’s on a very bad day but life does go on! Marble On!!! And respect to all of those that lost their lives and loved ones on 9/11.
